jQuery Forum

I didn’t find any documented way to do it. But there is nothing wrong with wrapping your function.

Hi,

in

mouseenter and mouseleave don't bubble but still work with delegate listeners.

Proof

I wish to replicate this with my own events.

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/xVLbvN uses a custom event.  What don’t you want to work?

Yes, but that works through bubbling. My custom event needs to NOT bubble. mouseenter and mouseleave do not bubble, but still work with delegate listeners. I am guessing it's impossible to replicate this perfectly with a custom event. I provide more detail about why I am trying to do what I'm trying to do in my StackOverflow post. I have already found an ugly workaround and the reason I posted a thread here is to see if there is a clean way to do it, which would involve completely replicating the behaviour of mouseenter/mouseleave.

Bubbling is part of delegation. You can’t delegate without jQuery bubbling.
